The Army Corps of Engineers plans to convert Chicago’s McCormick Place convention center into a hospital with 3,000 beds, utilizing its three halls, A, B, and C. The makeshift facility, designed to provide relief to local hospitals during the pandemic, is expected to be up and running by April 24.
Each hall would be configured to treat patients of differing degrees of severity of the virus, from low acute to higher levels of the illness to critically ill patients.
